Strategy Planning & Facilitation
We specialize in facilitating planning discussions in the public and non-profit sectors - both within organizations and with consortia - to clarify priorities, set goals, identify competitive advantages/opportunities and align resources. Our planning processes include creating frameworks for assessment of impact.
High Impact Communication
Translating complex ideas and plans into digestible and actionable communication is important for success. We help distill ideas and plans into summaries, reports, press releases, dashboards and visuals, depending on clients' target audiences.
Quantitative & Qualitative Analysis
Relevant, locally-tailored background research is critical for understanding baselines and evaluating progress. We develop succinct summaries of data indicators, review existing research, and design and conduct interviews to deepen understanding. Specialties include: economic trend analysis, labor market analysis, gap analysis.
Career Pathways
Building more seamless connections across education systems and with the workforce is both a passion and area of expertise.

The design process takes into account clients' values and impact goals, and implementation focuses on attaining tangible outcomes.
